About Peter
Peter Essex
Tutor for English and French, Exam/Study Coach (all subjects), Homework Tracker and Organizer
Having ADHD, being successful in school didn’t come naturally to me. It was by learning to self-motivate and organize that I achieved the Washington State Honor award, Salutatorian status, the prestigious Presidential Scholarship at my university, and a seal of biliteracy in my second language, French. This speaks to the fact that anyone can learn, regardless of organizational or learning difficulties.
Beyond The Malini Way, I am a pole vaulter, gym rat, churchgoer, and Francophile. I will attend Pacific Lutheran University in the fall to study psychology and kinesiology.

of assignments/task they either needed to work on or turn in. It not only gave them but also us—the parents—peace at mind, knowing they were on top of school and homework.
I absolutely recommend Peter to help your student manage and track school work.
We did it in connection with “homeschooling” but I would also highly recommend this to anyone who struggles to keep up with (time) managing homework, extra assignments and every day planning.
Thank you, Peter
